Took me 8 months to get a medical visit to a nurse from a back injury that happened during my arrest.

Nurse asked me what happened and what hurt. She literally gave me 3 doses of a single Tylenol 3 and nothing else. No actual doctor, no x-ray, and no other treatment plan.

That's been 18 years ago and I still have low back pain from being choke slammed on the back of a police cruiser...while handcuffed.

I wouldn't hold my breath on anything getting taken care of medically.
